    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Carlos Boozer will miss his 14th game tonight because of his sprained right foot, an injury that is now certain, his agent said, to keep the Jazz forward out of uniform for the rest of the month.

    "The doctor gave medical orders to Carlos to keep his foot completely immobilized, except during physical therapy, for three weeks," agent Rob Pelinka said Thursday. "He found some inflammation related to tendonitis in Carlos' foot and recommended a period of rest to calm the [inflammation]."

    Boozer's foot, sprained when he landed on another player's foot during a Feb. 14 game in Phoenix, was slow to respond to treatment in the weeks immediately after the injury, Pelinka said, so Boozer and the Jazz agreed to seek a second opinion from sports-orthopedic specialist Richard Ferkel in Los Angeles. </div>
